Thirty Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose and the Baby Tiles
Day 8
In 2007-2008, Jake was papped a few times in the process of being chauffered by this particular blond woman...
According to Just Jared, in the above picture:
The Zodiac star was escorted outside by an elderly woman and then hopped into a car being driven by an unidentified woman. - Just Jared, June 18, 2007. http://www.justjared.com/2007/06/18/jake-gyllenhaal-fresh-skincare-store/
And then here...
Prior to leaving for overseas and work on the movie Prince of Persia, Jake was seen frequently jogging with a personal trainer in southern California. The filming schedule of the Disney movie would take him to Morocco, but also include "down time" with Reese Witherspoon and her children in Paris, France, Spain and London, of which the "R & R" was well documented by a plethura of pictures.
Now a funny thing happened on the way to watching Jake's comings and goings. In 2010, a poster on the Waiting for Toothy 2 blog, long after the photos had been taken, suddenly discovered that there was a woman in these July 11, 2008 pictures of Jake, Reese, and her children Ava and Deacon, who looked awfully similar to the blond, "chauffer" woman in the 2007 and 2008 photos.
There was once video of this walkabout (by the pap agency x17) and in the film, you can see Jake and Reese walking side by side behind this blond woman who was carrying a small baby and stroller. The stroller is bedecked in everything looking brand-spanking new and blue. This video is no longer available anywhere online. But this wonderful Waiting for Toothy2 blog regular had preserved picture comparisons and a string of screen caps from the video during a hot topic of conversation on the unforgettable evening in late January 2010. The highly animated and excited online discussion was highlighted by whether or not Ava Phillips, daughter of Reese and Ryan Philippe, did in fact appear to run towards the woman carrying the baby and begin to reach up and touch the baby's arm.
I have no doubt she did - will never forget seeing the video. Here are the screen caps and a link to the website tinypics.com because it might be beneficial and easier to zoom, in order to see them in the link. I just found these screen cap pictures while writing this, God bless this fan. We thought the video was forever lost, but at least we have these stills. Unfortunately, this is on X-Large, so I can't make them any bigger (being technically challenged and all)
Ava is in the red top and that is one of Jake's people/handlers in the white slacks and dark top and hair. They were all spread out but as you can see if you're able to blow up the pictures, Ava does reach up with her arm towards the baby. Now, one scoffing poster said that Ava was probably reaching up to touch her own hair.
Comparison side by side:
As someone who saw the video, I saw what looked to me like young Ava running towards the woman and baby, reaching up with her hand, but then pulling it back right away. The video is forever "lost", but we now have these screencaps and humongous thanks to that old timer poster.
Interestingly enough, one year later in 2009, this blurb appeared on People.com, dated February 4:
Sure enough, looks like People.com wasn't blowing wind. IHJ has a few pics of Jake "leaving Caffe Luxxe" in Santa Monica, dated February 2:
What a cutie! Check him out.
So Jake interviewing another "personal assistant", who happens to be blond. It would be practical to imagine that Jake would want a blond female because in a car or from a quick angle, she could easily be mistaken for Reese.
This will not be the last time 30 Days posts on the "blond woman"; we will see her once again later in time. :-)
Happy Saturday, everyone! Note: For the weekend, we're back on schedule, which is why Day 8 wasn't posted last night.
